Learn by building. Get paid to grow.

What it is

Four fellows per cohort. Each one paired 1:1 with a Makkan engineer as a mentor, working on real internal and client-facing projects, not simulations. You'll spend your time split between structured learning, supervised production work, and regular feedback, with the whole cohort coming together every 3 weeks to connect, share, and learn from each other.

What you'll do

• •Work on 1–2 internal projects and 1 external/client-facing project alongside the Makkan team
• •Get direct code review and mentorship from a working engineer
• •Build a real, credible portfolio of shipped work, not just tutorials

Who we're looking for

People with strong fundamentals, a genuine ability to learn fast, and evidence they've actually built something, whether self-taught or bootcamp-trained. We care about what you can do, not just how you got here.

Requirements

• •At least 1 year of experience
• •A GitHub profile or link to something you've built or tested
• •Your name, LinkedIn URL, and email
• •A short recording telling us why you want to join

What you get

• •Real mentorship, a real network, and a track record you can point to
• •Strong performers may be offered a path to join the Makkan team, from Fellow toward Engineer and beyond
• •A paid stipend throughout the programme
• •A completion bonus at the end

Timeline

Applications open September 10 and close September 21. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a short test by September 25. The 4 fellows for the cohort will be selected between September 26 and 30, with the programme beginning October 1.
